If you ever question his greatness, just take a look at the scoreboard during most of these plays. He had to make these plays to be a winner so he just did it and made it look so easy. The left handed corner shot and behind the backboard shot were especially impressive to me.
Often the scoreboard was this way because for the first 40 minutes of the game he would shoot 4/16 or something like that. He's definitely greta but I vividly remember his ups and downs.
Nobody embodied "fearless" like Kobe. The man had pure ice water running in his veins. Never afraid of a moment. He walked the walk. Still cannot believe he's gone. Every time i remember, it's a shock all over again.
but that same fearless made him take many poor shots trying to be a hero, and he was lol He is 5% behind Jordan and Bird in shooting% They shot smarter
@@23aceballer they're not, and his last years while injured made them decline, but he wouldn't have been the Mamba if he just quit and didn't try to comeback from that injury
Him saying constantly in interviews that he was going to make the 20 years after his retirement better than his 20 years in the NBA is so heartbreaking. He was really going show greatness in every field he could.
@@borissibor2638 It's referencing how in some video games a certain character's skill can be so powerful compared to everyone else that it "breaks the game." In other words, they're saying that Kobe's vertical was insanely good.
I can’t help but get emotional with These videos. The skill, the dominance, the passion is just amazing. Really brings out feelings of such respect and love for this man. Love you mamba.
At 1:14 Kobe was wearing #8 when he blocked jersey 24. At 4:00 Kobe was wearing #24 when he blocked jersey 8. At 4:50 Kobe posterized Nash and became teammates. At 5:01 Kobe posterized Howard and became teammates. Wow! What a Great compilation we have here. 💪🏽
Watching the lakers and Kobe dominate through 2000-2012 was such a good time living in LA. Back when games were always broadcasted locally. I used to play so much basketball trying to be like Kobe. Truly my goat growing up
I was a season ticker holder for many years. When he retired so did I from going to the games. I just knew that it would never be the same. All the games that i got to see him play, also Shaq and many other great players. It was a great run. RIP Mamba
prisoner of the moment. he's great, but the most prolific scorer is MJ and the eye test and data prove it. Kobe cant hold the ball like Mj. You can say for the Lakers he was that. KOBE the second greatest shooting guard ever. probably 3rd - 4th greatest player ever.
@@turtleface07 same here, same here. I remember reading the headline and not believing it until I read multiple articles. Even then I still didn’t believe it.
The basketball world will not be the same without this man. Imagine how many young players in the NBA have now lost the opportunity to pick his brain about how he approached and thought about the game and how much more he had to offer to the NBA AND the WNBA. RIP Bean and Gigi
Thank you for posting this. It's good to show my kids how absolutely legendary Kobe was, and how proud he made his adopted city. I mourn the future that he didn't have, nor his daughter, nor the other victims of the crash. So much potential lost. I pray that his family is comforted by the love that people all over the world had for him, and trust that they'll see their beloveds again.
Rest in peace, GOAT. ✊ You never even knew I exist and yet you made my life better by just being you. From the bottom of my heart: THANK YOU and may God bless your soul. 😔
I remember back in elementary, we would yell "KOBE!" On anything we could throw into something else. R.I.P Kobe Bryant. Edit: I'm aware people still do this lol. I'm just sharing memories
He will truly be missed even if ur a diehard Celtics fan seeing him pass hurts all sports fans hearts because the one thing about him he ALWAYS gave you his best & players don't do that anymore
@@gregbors8364 Dame is great offensively, but he doesn’t affect anything on the defensive end. He coasts on defense and so do most superstars now a days. There still are a few here and there. But Kobe went 100% all the time on both ends of the floor
@@youngrav2311 Kobe hogged the ball 100% of the time too. That’s why he’s the NBA’s all-time leader in missed shots (over 1,000 more than the next guy on the list)
God I miss Kobe so much, I grew up watching him play throughout his entire career and remember all of these highlights. His combination of skill and sheer determination will never be matched. His presence on the court goes beyond stats, his confidence and killer instinct struck fear in his opponents
Kobe was the closest player we would get to seeing another MJ. When it came to his mentality and work ethic there was no one like him. RIP to the legend :(
This video should give plenty of people a reminder why he's in the goat conversation. I still have him at 7 or so but I've seen people not have him top 10. Like how??? Love watching him. Rip to the great, you'll be missed.
yes that's because he's not top 10. this is a highlight reel, of course Kobe is gonna look good. where's the video showing all of his NBA record 14,481 missed shots? lmao
@@soogasooga the only thing you have on kobe is the missed shots... like get me something else. Who else was supposed to take shots during the last DECADE of his career??? He wasn't even inefficient look at the stats, he just shot/scored so much that the misses are bound to go up over time. He's definitely top 10. If you don't mind, could you give me your top 10?
there will NEVER be another like him. imo he is the goat and was never a jordan clone. kobe had my style to his game and movement and the mamba mentality is one of a kind. KOBE BEAN BRYANT. THE GREATEST TO EVER DO IT AND ILL DIE ON THIS HILL. he was an once in a life time artist that im so thankful i was lucky enough to grow up watching... and if u dont think so then just watch how he controls his body in the air and how he makes split second adjustments the way he does while in the air and that ALONE should tell u
If there was just a couple plays like these you could write if off to luck, but I watched him in a game in person back in the mid 2000s, they were hanging all over him and he was drilling them. He is one of those players that is still accurate under a lot of duress.
It's crazy how I used to hate Kobe growing up! Growing up in Arizona, Steve Nash and the Suns made me fall in love with basketball, but Kobe was the guy I hated more than anyone! Even more when it seemed like he could do nothing wrong! The funny thing is, I cried when the Lakers beat the Celtics in 2010 lol During his retirement tour in 2016, seeing the love and impact he made over the years, that narrative changed and weirdly won me over, even more when he scored 60 in his final game! (looking like the Kobe Bryant of old I once hated) When he died, I was shocked! I couldn't believe the guy that changed the game after MJ, the guy everyone mimicked, yelling out "Kobe" when throwing a piece of paper in the trashcan was no longer with us! Now, he is one my favorite players! His work-ethic was light-years ahead of his competition, which was the very thing I hated about him! RIP Mamba
Man… RIP to the GOAT of the NBA, Kobe “Bean” Bryant. I will never forget his last ever game at the Staple center. I was there that never night when he dropped 60 points. It brought me so much nostalgia and what a legendary performance by a player in his last year. Basketball isn’t quite same without the goat. We all miss you Kobe
you could do 500 of these. he was incredible and its wild that he's going to fade away just like every other legend. worthwhile to go back and look at the best of the best, wilt, bird, magic, MJ, the answer. so many incredible athletes we were lucky to see, and still more coming up. Basketball is amazing.
This was literally the greatest human being to ever touch a basketball in my opinion. I’ve been watching Kobe since 1996 seriously he has and will forever be my favorite player of all time to me this was the greatest player in nba history!
@@deanta14 he definitely won't. You clowns need to go watch that whole interview, not to mention we e seen Jordan evaluate talent. There's isn't a single thing he did close to Jordan's level outside of freethrow efficiency, especially winning.
@@keithjoseph128 old head, Kobe was more advanced basketball player than MJ. If Kobe got to play 1 on 1 the whole game, he would’ve had multiple 80 point games, not like he couldn’t have already.
Living in Los Angles, and coming up a die hard Laker fan, I had the incredible fortune to see almost every one of these plays live. No athlete, in any sport, has ever more consistently simply blown my mind like Kobe. He'd have games where he'd have more highlight reel type plays than many players would have in a season.
What I liked most about Kobe was that he played hard as hell every game. All he wanted to do was win. He didn’t care what ppl said about his selfishness, his ego, his moods, he just wanted to be the best and to win.
Here’s the thing about Kobe. If you actually WATCHED him play then he’s undeniably one of the 5 greatest players to ever play the game. If you are a stat freak that only looked up numbers than you will put him outside the top 5 maybe top 10. Numbers don’t tell the whole truth and I was lucky enough to see his greatness live. He’s the GOAT imo, I haven’t seen a player as great as Kobe, respectfully I wasn’t born wen Jordan, magic and Bird were in their primes
I watched all those players and Kobe's Era. No offense but he's not top 10 all time. Shaq avg 32 pts and 12 reb in those Finals and got all 3 Finals MVPs. People sleep on Shaq as one of the greatest. I'd throw Hakeem Olajuwon in there too
@@OttoErotic69 I don’t list small players w bigs becuz it’s two completely different roles and skill sets. Shaq was in his prime while Kobe was approaching and even Shaq saw that Kobe was the best, words outta his own mouth
I remember the commentators thought it was a charge, too. Nash is definitely outside the circle. But it looks like kobe jumps before nash is set. It's at least close enough that the call could have gone either way.
i came here thinking i'd feel happy. i felt more sad knowing he really gone..as a hardcore nba fan, what happened to kobe really shakes you to the core. it's almost 3 yrs now but damn, still hurts.
Unbelievable. Not gonna lie…I never liked Kobe until the last 4 years or so of his career. I always thought he was arrogant, but I wasn’t paying attention. He was a legend and he knew it. When he died, my entire family was visiting, and I was outside smoking a cig, messing with my phone when I read the news. I immediately walked in my house and told my family, and we were all devastated, except my parents bc they’re immigrants 🤣🤣🤣 RIP, Legend.
You know what else made him a legend? His undying loyalty to the Lakers. Kobe was a Laker for his entire pro career. You cannot get anyone who are willing to stay with one team through their entire sports career like him....
If you ever question his greatness, just take a look at the scoreboard during most of these plays. He had to make these plays to be a winner so he just did it and made it look so easy. The left handed corner shot and behind the backboard shot were especially impressive to me.

@@OttoErotic69 I don’t list small players w bigs becuz it’s two completely different roles and skill sets. Shaq was in his prime while Kobe was approaching and even Shaq saw that Kobe was the best, words outta his own mouth
That second play, thats Kobe in a nutshell. Does whatever it takes to get the bucket.
Noone has a better highlight reel than this man. The greatest of all them, the goat.
So many good memories thank you Kobe… the man the myth the legend 🙏
Thank you for the memories Rest in paradise Kobe laker goat
as a phoenix fan, some of his most iconic moments came against us. BUT THAT NASH CALL WAS A CHARGE RIP to the god though
I remember the commentators thought it was a charge, too. Nash is definitely outside the circle. But it looks like kobe jumps before nash is set. It's at least close enough that the call could have gone either way.
Nah it was a no call. Nash was falling backwards and they didn't really touch at all
It wasn’t a charge because Kobe jumped before nash had his feet set. That’s the only reason for the no call. Y’all gotta learn the rules man lol
@@taewiz863 it’s called a joke tae….. relax
Kobe's clutch is a muscle memory. Nobody could handle that toughness.
The behind the backboard shot and that double spin in the corner 3 on Brandon Roy just nasty
i came here thinking i'd feel happy. i felt more sad knowing he really gone..as a hardcore nba fan, what happened to kobe really shakes you to the core. it's almost 3 yrs now but damn, still hurts.
I was thinking the same mate :(
Happy and fired up here 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Unbelievable. Not gonna lie…I never liked Kobe until the last 4 years or so of his career. I always thought he was arrogant, but I wasn’t paying attention. He was a legend and he knew it. When he died, my entire family was visiting, and I was outside smoking a cig, messing with my phone when I read the news. I immediately walked in my house and told my family, and we were all devastated, except my parents bc they’re immigrants 🤣🤣🤣 RIP, Legend.
I can't put this kind of basketball greatness into words.Truly a legend.R.i.p Kobe

I think it’ll be a lot easier to make it 12 seconds longer instead of 16 minutes longer. If you ask me.
You know what else made him a legend? His undying loyalty to the Lakers.
Kobe was a Laker for his entire pro career. You cannot get anyone who are willing to stay with one team through their entire sports career like him....
These highlights look like MJ brings tear to my eye two best ever to play the game
Absolutely absurd level of greatness. absolutely nothing like it in today's game. All the haters can kick rocks.
He had a lot of talent, but more importantly. He had the strength to keep going when everyone else would have given up.
Love Kobe! Rest easy GOAT!
Nobody was better than the BLACK MAMBA🖤🖤 R.I.P KOBE AND GIGI
The play where he lost the ball and went back and got the block.... if that had been Leflop, he would be on the floor crying for a foul lol
